How do I know if I'm allergic to something?
Sponsored Ad
Unfortunately when it comes to allergies, we never really know if we are allergic to something until we’ve suffered a reaction. These can range from minor to serious, and in either case should be taken as a warning to avoid contact with whatever it was that caused them in the first place.
Symptoms of mild allergic reaction can include:
- Itchy eyes
- Itchy skin
- Breaking out in hives
- Sneezing
- Stuffed up or runny nose
Symptoms of serious allergic reaction can include:
- Trouble breathing
- Swollen tongue or face
- Passing out
If you or someone you know is experiencing the symptoms of a serious allergic reaction, contact a hospital or doctor immediately.
